Maybe the offspring were estranged from him for other reasons. It happens. Or maybe they are already financially secured because he helped them well before he passed away. It seems odd the offspring didn’t stay in close touch. When my dad was declining and in his 90’s I flew to see him for a week almost every month for 18 months. We had professional people with him 24/7, and my sister was just blocks away. She got a break when I was visiting.
We need a divorce law for use within families. Any estranged person should be allowed to disavow any family member.
We might already have it in some form in some states but it’s not putting a stop to all the challenges. People are territorial vultures.
Adult children often get an insect up their posterior when they ruminate upon how their childhood wasn’t perfect.
Good on you.
I quite my job to be with my Father for his last 7 months.
We created a schedule where either I, my brother, sister and stepmom were with him 24 hours a day.
Social and care givers were the best in the last month. God bless those folks.
